My beautiful mum

My mum has just been diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread I'm desperate to save my mum I can't face losing her so young I cannot cope with the thought of losing her it is breaking my heart. I am so angry as she went back to the doctors over a space of two years and now it has gone too far has anyone else dealt with this at a young age ? 

 

  • That is so terrible I'm so sorry thanks for giving me this perspective it actually makes you see in another light so I'm sorry if it seems I am moaning in just heartbroken at the minute :( 

  • sorry only just read this butterfly , we do worry for them as bad as it sounds my mum would have coped better than my dad bless him he just goes to pieces i worry he will go down further i worry to lose him to in all of this ive never seen him look so ill and fraught. you probably feel the same about your mum, we have to be upbeat for them i know that so we will have to be here for one another its easier talking to people who are going through the same do you hae contact with macmillian nurse at all we have not heard yet im hoping they can give some support ive just started to get some kind of anxiety attacks i try not to let them happen but think its all the worry , look after yourself . i think of it as someone is trying to take my mum beacuse she is so wonderful and they want her where she can spread the kindness that she so whole heartedly has i love her beyond words

  • How is she doing? The sickness easing up at all? Dad has been treated and returned home a couple of nights ago with oxygen; all was fine until last night, he had problems breathing and panicked and it all went abit *** up to be honest. Up to that point he had stayed chirpy and optimistic but that's all gone now. An ellenor nurse came round today to see him and my mum when I was at work and asked him all the questions ie whether he wants to die in a hospice or at home etc. Think that really brought all the truth  Chemo appointment. They should be able to his a rough idea of timing etc but I think I know that it isn't much: my dad still believes he has 18 months or more, it breaks my heart but I'm glad he has hope X 

  • Hi Kimberley yes she has stopped being sick took her to docs today as possible chest infection she has been given some antibiotics. Oh bless your hearts poor dad can't imagine how they must feel. I know what you means about ups and downs mums had a good day of positive attitude today and hope but then it all goes out the window when they get sick again doesn't it , keep in touch sending you love x
